Abstract
We demonstrate an alternative technique to reduce pump depletion and to improve sensitivity in the long-range Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensor. Our BOTDA system uses an anti-Stokes single-sideband suppressed-carrier modulation technique that balances the pump depletion due to fiber loss. With this technique, we show both numerically and experimentally a great improvement compared to the dual sideband standard technique.
